Factory Aluminum Front wheels dont fit on the rear (until now)

[Scooby]

You have probably heard that you need to use a front wheel as a spare, because it will work on the front or rear.
While a rear wheel will not work on the front.

This is true for the factory STEEL wheels the front will work on the Rear.
But awhile back I picked up a Factory Aluminum front wheel & tire to use as a spare.

Over the past Thanksgiving weekend I was fooling around with the Ranger and decided to try it on the rear.
It doesnt fit the factory alum wheel doesnt have a hole for the Hub to stick through, so the wheel wont work. (UNTIL NOW)

So what I did was used a hole saw bit in my drill and now it fits great.

This left me with an interesting piece of debris.




Then my attention was transfered to my Leaky smelly Gas cap with the useless Gauge.
I remove the gauge part and pulled the whole float portion off the cap.
This left me with just a normal cap with a hole in the center where the gauge needle used to come through.
I stuck one of those Push Plug (christmas tree looking things) into the hole to seal that up.






Then it came to me....
